librtmp doesn't *handle* the streams at all. It reads bytes from the network 
and hands them off to whoever the caller is. It's up to ffmpeg to parse the 
streams and make sense out of them.

I would say "so there's something in how these specific cameras are generating 
their streams." Focus your attention on the actual problem and you might get 
somewhere.
